Anyone else find it strange that the likes of The Mirror and The Sun online, who are usually all over everything (thanks to their legion of workers), have nothing at all about Madonna's Sticky and Sweet stage collapsing in Marseille? It's only resulted in the deaths of two people.
BBC News reports: "Technicians were setting up the stage at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille when the partially built roof fell in at around 1715 (1515 GMT). The concert, planned for Sunday, 19 July, has now been cancelled, officials announced. The cause of the accident was not clear. The roof 'started shaking and collapsing' gradually, said Marseille city councillor Maurice Di Nocera. Since it did not collapse right away, that allowed several people to get out, to avoid being hit,' he said."
Seemingly a French man working on the set died instantaneously, with a second British man dying later in hospital: "It is believed that eight others were injured in the incident, with five still in a serious condition in hospital."
Madonna released this statement: "I am devastated to have just received this tragic news. My prayers go out to those who were injured and their families along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news."
